this is typical of computer vision syndrome' I would suggest you to take a break of about 5 minutes after every 45 minutes or so. Also keep your screen brightness in accordance to the room lights. Not too bright. You might also have to be started on artificial tears to have some relief for now.

watering of eyes can be due to many reasons and the main reasons are
1.Eye Allergy due to dust,Pollution,infection
2.Weak Eyesight
3.Continuous watching TV,Mobile,computor in dim light
4.Any eye injury
5.Lack of sleep
